    Soil was dug up from a riverbank where stinging nettles where growing in abundance ( they require similar soil pH) but agree it was a bit clay-e ( not sure of that's a word but u get what I mean) ( think the first one might have died due to an dry gap in the soil before it rooted? Dunno if that possible but it was a bit sickly from begining maybe wasn't meant to be)

    What about adding some crumbled polystyrene to the soil at next repottting?hard to obtain any proper stuff right now!

    As to a fan no need it's growing outdoors at sea only moved it in for the photo if something I'm worried the constant winds will be a bit much for it + not sure how they will react to the salt in the air.

    Salt from the air may be an issue, I'm not sure. I know cannabis is often grown right along the ocean in many parts of the world, though. As long as it's not so much that it's drinking up a lot of salt on a regular basis, should be okay. The wind will be fine, as long as it has always been exposed to it. Taking a plant living in still air and putting it into wind will ruin it, but a plant that has always been in such conditions will be fine! Unless there's a sudden gale force wind or something.
    At next transplant, try and mix in something natural you can get your hands on, that isn't so dense. Even some ground up old dry moss or leaves would be good. Then it won't be so dense and clay-e. But as for nutrients, that soil probably has most of the right stuff. If you can/find get any worm poop ("castings") or maybe composted livestock manure, that would help. You can top dress (sprinkle and mix in), or wait until transplant, and add it then.
    Aside from that, make sure she (hopefully, she) is getting as much direct sunlight as possible, and she'll continue to do well.
